Why is my name duplicated in my posts? How do I change it?

Jordi Kloosterboer

It should be the same as your contact name here: https://www.familysearch.org/profile/account

I just checked it. My contact name is BrimLarryHyde. For some reason it is duplicated in my post below. I have noticed that some other people have the same duplication in their names. How do we fix it?

I am not sure why this is happening. I have noticed that with others, too. I guess you will have to click "Feedback" at the bottom of the page and explain the problem there and see how they can help you.

In any event, it's really not a problem--you can still post questions and participate in the forum.

Hmm, yeah that is weird. I see other people have it too. For edits you do on the tree, does it duplicate your name too? Try temporarily changing your contact name to something else to see if it duplicates that name. Note what your name changes to, then change it back to your contact name. Note, your contact name won't immediately be updated on the family tree, but it will for the community. At least that was my experience a month ago.

Fritz, using cut/copy/paste in another search, relating koi-ponds,i copied a full Japanese caracter sentence to my google prompt,and that worked flawless, google can handle

Japanese on the fly from the prompt.After my results returned , i stripped the batch of txt

to google translate, and was actually happy to read it.

 

One day later , all my prompts here(fm) and the captions in the buttons from the chatboxes turned out to be in Japanese caracters. The flaw is not in my country settings here, as i tried to change to Portuges,French, Dutch, etc...it defaults back to Japanese.

Real funny.it becomes a habbit to stare at it.But i'm used to it now.

Fritz, lately i have been occupied with a lot of other things,and it was a bit difficult for me to spend much time here, also ,i went to Germany for some time off.I visited nice places in the Eifel,like Monschau,Schleiden,Vogelsang ip, and Simmerath.Things will improve now.

You need to go into familysearch.org and put a space between your middle name and last name so that you have two names and save it. That should fix the problem.
